Second, the laptop is now worse than it was. Networkmanager can't get the ethernet cable to work. However, I shut networkmanager down and created a net.enp3s0 in /etc/init.d/ and that brings up dhcp perfectly.

So I have made things worse, but I don't know how.

Any advice would be appreciated._________________Some day there will only be free software.

further, you must recompile kernel for ath9k_htc and keep ath9k in if its a htc card... lspci / lsusb / dmesg | grep ath9k in live cd would be helpful to determine if its htc or not, for me thats how i found it, and i do not know the accuracy of this document.

have you looked at /var/log/messages?
gentoo networking is the most reliable because it is controllable then wicd then network manager IMHO
what have you done about the bluetooth side of your AR9462?_________________Defund the FCC.

is it ath9k_htc? please append solved to original post title. if it is htc, id report it up stream as such. debian wiki is only for 2 chips for htc. lsmod | grep htc (probably as root) will tell you if its htc or not.
